What is Absolute Value?
The absolute value of a number is the distance between that number and zero on a number line, regardless of the direction. It is always a non-negative value. In mathematical notation, the absolute value of a number xxx is written as ∣x∣|x|∣x∣.
How to Use the Absolute Value Calculator
- Input the Number: Enter the number or equation for which you want to find the absolute value. This can be any real number, positive or negative.
- Calculate: Click the "Calculate" button to find the absolute value.
- Result: The calculator will display the absolute value of the entered number.
Examples
- The absolute value of −7-7−7 is 777. ( ∣−7∣=7|-7| = 7∣−7∣=7 )
- The absolute value of 555 is 555. ( ∣5∣=5|5| = 5∣5∣=5 )
- The absolute value of 000 is 000. ( ∣0∣=0|0| = 0∣0∣=0 )
Why Use an Absolute Value Calculator?
Absolute values are used in various mathematical computations and real-life applications such as:
- Distance: Calculating the distance between points on a number line or coordinate plane.
- Difference: Determining the difference between values without considering direction.
- Real-World Problems: Solving problems involving absolute quantities, like temperature changes, financial gains/losses, and more.
